Lockdown - S5-E11

Continuity mistake: Lex's aide is shot in the back as he makes a run for the door. When he goes down he slides head first almost all the way to the door. A few moments later, just as Flynn shoots out the security camera, in the security monitor image Lex's aide is now in a different position.

Zod - S6-E1

Visible crew/equipment: Martha and Lionel are in the barn when everything starts to fall apart. The camera shot changes from them to a boat falling from the rafters. As it falls there is a visible production crewmember hiding next to the window, holding a hay bale. (00:28:15)

Solitude - S5-E8

Continuity mistake: Chloe is sneaking around inside the warehouse that Lex is using to hide the space ship. After she is found by a security guard she turns back around to look in where the ship is. When she does a shot from her POV shows the fan blades spinning faster then they were in the shot before and after when we are looking at Chloe through the fan.

Lineage - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Jonathan runs up to Lex, while he is unconscious, the first shot of Lex has his arm bent but not near his face. The shot switches to look down on Lex and now he is laying with his hand considerably closer than the previous shot.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The meteors are shown traveling together in space at the beginning, but the smoke trail from the first meteorite runs perpendicular to the flight of the next one. They should be falling along roughly the same flight corridor, as all the other meteorites do. (00:00:10 - 00:04:30)

Phoenix

Exile (1) - S3-E1

Plot hole: After Chloe and Lionel's discussion we see the Naman and Segeth glyph. This glyph is colored in black and white unlike it was in Season 1 episode Skinwalkers.

Mercy - S5-E19

Revealing mistake: At the beginning, Lional's limo comes to a screeching halt on railroad tracks. The camera is panned out to where you can see this happen. The black tire marks that are supposed to appear from the hard braking are already present, which means there were multiple takes.

Season 4 generally

Revealing mistake: When Lucy plays her violin in Lex's mansion, it's obvious the actress isn't actually playing - her fingers aren't moving and the box is out of time with the music.

Shay

Spirit - S4-E18

Continuity mistake: As Clark/Dawn goes to hit Chloe, at first the camera is behind Clark and he swings as if he is going to slap her face. The next shot, as the camera is to their side, Clark's swing changes so that he shoves her across the room.

Truth - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: As Lana says "I was thinking the same thing but we don't seem to be very good at it." there is a camera change as she says "but". Before the change she only has the red cup on the tray but after the change, even though she didn't pick it up, she has a red and a yellow cup on the tray. The other cup was on the table and jumps to the tray between shots.

Truth - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: When Chloe crashes through the bridge rails her windshield is dotted with raindrops. Just a few seconds later the blue truck hits her car from behind and now her windshield is dry.

Shimmer - S1-E10

Lana Lang: That's the thing about Clark Kent. He's not always there when you want him... But he's always there when you need him.

Hero - S7-E13

Trivia: When Clark confronts the Flash in his hotel room, he reads off the fake IDs Jay Garrick, Barry Allen and Wally West. Those are the secret identities of the first three men to be called the Flash in the comics.

Whisper - S3-E10

Question: In the episode, 'Whisper', there is a character that makes a very high pitched feedback like noise. Is this a character that was in the old comics and can anyone tell me how this guy does that noise?

Answer: No, there is no such character in the comics. He's a "meteor-freak" like all the other baddies on the show. The sound has something to do with him vibrating his vocal cords very fast to create a high-pitched squeal.
